My films are misinterpreted all the time. I don't mind that. Everybody's films are misinterpreted. But there's no malice or stupidity in the people that misinterpret them. You know what you do, but someone else sees it, and they want to talk about it or write about it, and so they misinterpret them.

God is either cruel or incompetent.

You can't anticipate in the room the riches of what you encounter when you're location hunting for a movie.

We live in far too permissive a society. Never before has pornography been this rampant. And those films are so badly lit!

I'm not anti-social. I'm just not social.

Man cannot live by bread alone. Every once in awhile he needs a salad.
